Hinojosa joined Thursday's school board meeting as it was in progress. When he found out the vote was 5-4, he said he wasn't flattered by the close vote.

When asked if he'd take the job in Clark County if it was offered to him, Hinojosa said it's too early too tell.

"Let me tell you this. I had a great day, I had a great interview, and I found nothing that scared me away from that job," he said. "I can just tell you this right now: There was nothing that I looked or heard or saw that dissuade me from still being a candidate. So obviously, I'm still considering it at this time."

The Clark County School District board interviewed Hinojosa earlier on Thursday.
